Federal criminal and civil investigators looked
into possible leaks of economic data that the
government provides early to news organizations,
according to a report released Tuesday by the
Labor Department.

A new inspector general audit revealed that the
Postal Service has overfunded its pension
benefit obligations by nearly 105 percent. While
this might seem to be good news for the cash-
strapped agency, legislative action will be
required for USPS to get back the $13.1 billion
surplus it paid into its employees' pensions.

Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry issued a directive today claiming his agency never approved thousands of dollars in questionable meals and entertainment expenses incurred by the Combined Federal Campaign. Earlier this month, OPM's Inspector General's Office reported that CFC had charged for box seats at a Washington Nationals event, chair massages and other expenses.

Debra Roth, partner at Shaw, Bransford and Roth, said the leaking of the Government Accountability Office's draft report back to DoD was unusual. The report was an evaluation of the whistleblower protection program for military service members.
